Our lidded magazine pouches are designed to dependably carry your magazines well protected in any conditions and to be easily opened even with thick winter gloves on. The lid keeps the worst mud, sand and snow out of the pouch.
The rear features our standard PALS attachment webbing system with tuck tabs. The attachment straps can also be woven into belt loops for 45-50 mm wide belts.
A length of elastic cord looped around the pouch offers adjustable retention and circumference adjustment. Great not only for single magazines but also for adjusting the pouch for radios, IFAK-inserts etc.
External reinforcement webbing along the bottom adds some service life, as this tends to be where this kind of pouches wear through first. At the very bottom is a drainage grommet to let water out.
Lid closure system
The lid on this pouch is closed using a polyethylene reinforced tuck tab and hook-and-loop. A tuck tab is mechanically very simple, but extremely reliable compared to plastic buckles, press studs or just using hook and loop. This is indeed almost identical to how the attachment straps are locked into place on all our PALS attachable pouches, just shorter and with a grip tab for rapid opening.
The hook-and-loop allows the pouch to stay securely closed even when half empty, and to be quickly closed without tucking in the tab. The hook piece can be covered with a sewn-in piece of loop for silent operation.
Pro-tip: when first using a brand-new pouch, press the tuck tab with your fingers to give it a C-bend. This will make it far easier to use as the claw-like shape is better at finding its way into the little webbing pocket which locks it. Don’t worry, polyethylene (in all its low-tech boring glory) is very crush resistant and will not crack or break, that’s why we use it.
